OUR SUSTAINABILITY JOURNEY SEC 1 20 For more information on our contributions to the UN SDGs, please refer to the disclosures of each of our material matter from pages 24 to 106 in this report. OUR STORY ALIGNMENT TO UNITED NATIONS SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS (SDG) We advocate for sustainable development and believe in fostering global solidarity through collective action to promote peace and prosperity for both people and the planet, both now and in the future. As part of this global partnership, we align with the applicable Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and their targets within our operations to meet the increasing expectations of the public. This strategic approach not only strengthens our sustainability practices but also enhances our long-term business performance, while simultaneously presenting us with business opportunities across sectors such as food and agriculture, energy, and materials—all of which are intertwined with the achievement of the SDGs. Outlined below are the 17 SDGs that we aim to contribute to through our sustainable business endeavours, encompassing various aspects of our value chain. EMBRACING STAKEHOLDER DIVERSITY TO CULTIVATE AN INCLUSIVE APPROACH FGV acknowledges the importance of incorporating diverse viewpoints, recognising the multitude of stakeholders involved in its operations. Given the scrutiny faced by the industry, FGV prioritises amplifying the voices of its stakeholders to ensure a more inclusive and informed decision-making process. By fostering strong relationships with all stakeholder groups and actively seeking their feedback, FGV aims to gather diverse perspectives that contribute to balanced and unbiased sustainability responses. In 2024, FGV conducted extensive internal and external stakeholder engagements to gather insights and feedback on sustainability matters. These engagements are instrumental in shaping FGV’s approach to risk management and decision-making, ensuring that the concerns and expectations of stakeholders are adequately addressed. Through continuous engagement and attentive listening, FGV endeavours to enhance its business operations and strengthen its commitment to sustainability. SUSTAINABILITY STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT During the reporting period, we engaged with 11 stakeholder groups namely, employees, FELDA settlers, the Board of Directors, regulators, field workers, customers, investors, suppliers, JV and business partners, media, and NGOs. These engagement sessions were guided and facilitated by an external sustainability consultant. During these interactions, we collaborated with stakeholders to ascertain the significance and impact of the various sustainability key issues that were considered important to the stakeholders and to our business. Feedback from these sessions highlighted key issues related to operational excellence, human rights, employee welfare, and environmental and resource management. Additionally, stakeholders recommended collaboration with NGOs and government agencies to enhance our RSPO certification status.
